Chapter 12 objectives • Be able to: • Explain the role of DB2 in online transaction processing. • List common DB2 data structures. • Compose simple SQL queries to run on z/OS. • Give an overview of application programming with DB2. • What the IMS components are • The structure of the IMS DB subsystem
bind DBMS EXPLAIN modified source SPUFI SQL SYSADM view Key terms in this chapter
Schema structures • User-defined Data Type (UDT) • User-defined Function (UDF) • Triggers • Large Object (LOB) • Stored Procedure
System Structure • Catalog & Directory: stores ALL DB2 information • Buffer Pool • Active and Archive Logs • Bootstrap data set (BSDS)
DB2 for z/OS Architecture • DB2 Address Spaces • System Service address space (SSAS) • Database Service address space (DBAS) • Internal Resource Lock Manager (IRLM) • DB2 Attachment Facilities • CICS • IMS • TSO
First you need to create the output file (if not existing) Invoke SQL on z/OS: SPUFI Select option 1 to enter SPUFI
Invoke SQL on z/OS: SPUFI (CONT…) Enter the input and output dataset, if they are not yet in place. Change the member of the PDS, if you want to enter a new SQL Defaults are set to NO from YES.
Invoke SQL on z/OS: SPUFI (CONT…) Enter the SQL statement you want to execute. Press F3 to return to the previous screen (to execute the SQL).
Invoke SQL on z/OS: SPUFI (CONT…) When you get back to this screen, the “edit input” is put to “*”. Press ENTER to execute the SQL and to see the output.
Invoke SQL on z/OS: SPUFI (CONT…) F8 brings the rest of the results on your screen
EXPLAIN ALL SET QUERYNO = 1 SELECT EMPNO, LASTNAME FROM EMP WHERE LASTNAME = 'MILLER'; Get the access path: EXPLAIN • The query is NOT executed • The access path is placed in userid.PLAN_TABLE, if it exists
Other development options • ODBC • JAVA • SQLJ • JDBC • XML • XML Column Access • XML Collection Access
Managing DB2: System Administration • Installation • System Object Management • System and Disaster Recovery • Monitoring System Performance
Managing DB2: Database Administration • Creation & Management of DB2 Objects • Execution of Utilities: • Data Organization • Backup & recovery • Data Consistency • Commands
Functions of the IMS database manager • A DBMS provides: • Multiple-user access to a single copy of data • Integrity for all updates • Minimal hardware and OS access method dependencies • Reduced data redundancy
Implementation of IMS Databases • Depending on user' requirements • Technologies : • IMS DB or DL/I or DL1 or Full Function Database • IMS DEDB or Data Entry DB or Fast Path Database • IMS Main storage database (MSDB) • IBM DB2 • Database Recovery Control (DBRC)
Databases used by IMS: Database basics • Access paths • Normalization within IMS • Unique entities • 1 occurrence only • No many-to-many relationships
Databases used by IMS: DB Model • Sequence to access the segments
Databases used by IMS: DB model • Additional access paths to segments • Logical relationships • Secondary indices
Application programming overview • Program is subroutine of IMS region controller • Needs a program specification block (PSB) • Uses services: • Send/receive message from terminals • Access db • Issue IMS commands • Issue IMS service calls e.g. Checkpoint calls, Sync call
IMS & the World Wide Web • Message flow in IMS transaction
IMS & the World Wide Web • Message flow between Web Browser & Web Server
Message flow IMS transaction & Web Server CGI Programs IMS & the World Wide Web
Summary • The relational database is the predominant approach to data organization in today's business world. • IBM’s DB2 implements such relational principles as primary keys, referential integrity, a language to access the database (SQL), nulls, and normalized design. • In a relational database, the most fundamental structure is the table with columns and rows.
Summary (continued) • The only way to access the data in DB2 databases is with SQL. • On the mainframe, SPUFI is a tool used to enter SQL statements. • The DBRM performs a bind process that determines the access path and stores this executable SQL code in a package. • SQL can handle both static and dynamic statements, and EXPLAIN can be used to find out what access path the optimizer chose for the SQL.
